Anyone wanting to learn how to switch their internal state to inner peace

Catherine Carrigan has been co-creating an online course called Eight Minutes to Inner Peace with instructional designer Lisa Barnstrom and Suzanne Dulin, creator of the Sadhana Catalog.

“I’ve been teaching yoga in Atlanta for the past 21 years,” says Catherine Carrigan. “I have taught yoga breathing exercises, also known as pranayama, to a wide range of clients as a simple form of energy healing.

“In recent years I was prompted to create a series of videos of these breathing exercises in order to help a client suffering from dangerously high blood pressure.

“I felt tremendous compassion for him because not only was his blood pressure so high he had experienced kidney failure, he was unable to work his job as a barber.

“He would have to get up at 4 in the morning to drive to a dialysis center for daily treatments.

“I wanted to create the videos so he would know what to do to calm himself as he left his wife and children in the wee hours of the morning to go in for his lengthy treatment.

“Although he was on multiple medications, the drugs had failed to lower his blood pressure within normal range. I wanted him to have access to these very powerful breathing exercises so that he could lower his blood pressure naturally.

“Since that time I have referred countless clients to my videos. After talking to Suzanne Dulin and Lisa Barnstrom, we saw the need to create an online course so that people all over the world could learn the natural healing remedy of pranayama, a simple but profound form of energy healing.”
